Make Your Own Sugar Scrub (2 Ingredients) + FREE Printable Jar Labels

I have always been a fan of sugar scrubs. They exfoliate while moisturizing and there are no crazy chemicals involved. In fact, this is one of the simplest things I have ever set out to make.

Tomorrow is Lily Bean’s LAST day of her first year of preschool. *Sniff* Her teacher and teacher’s aide have been absolutely divine. They have given her the most wonderful year – and truly built a great foundation for her to enjoy future years of school.

I poured through different ideas when trying to decide on an end of the year gift and time after time, various bath and body items kept popping up. I finally settled on sugar scrub because I know how much I enjoy it.

I made three different scented scrubs – lemon, lavender and peppermint. To avoid any “scent contamination” I mixed each scent in its own cup with its own spoon.

I have seen some sugar scrub recipes call for 1 part sugar to 2 parts EVOO. I like my scrub to be a little thicker, grittier. I used equal parts sugar and oil. You can play around with your mixture until you achieve your desired consistency. If you like a super gritty texture, use 1 part EVOO to 2 parts sugar.

To make one half pint jar of scrub, I first added 1/3 cup of EVOO.

Then I added 1/3 cup of white sugar to the EVOO and mixed it together.

Next, I added a few drops (no more than 1/4 of a TEAspoon) of essential oil.

Mix all this goodness together and you’ll get a consistency that looks like this:

Pour scrub into your jar and screw on the lid.

That’s it!

To use scrub: Stir mixture. Scoop out some scrub and rub lightly onto hands or body (avoid face). Rinse/pat dry.

I made my own labels in Photoshop which I am uploading for you in case you’d like to use them. These work best with 2″ printable labels – I used Avery Labels 22817.
